Inkjet printers are popular for their high-quality prints, but they come with a rare, but occasional issue: printhead drying. This problem can be particularly prevalent in the event in which a printer isn't used that often. However, with a few simple steps, you can prevent your printhead from drying out and ensure your printer operates smoothly.
Regular Printing
One of the easiest ways to keep your printhead from drying out is to use your printer regularly. Aim to print at least once a week or every other week. This keeps the ink flowing and prevents it from settling and drying in the nozzles. Even if you have nothing to print; it's worth running a weekly print sheet that uses all installed cartridges.
Doing the above prolongs the life of the printer and you will get more out of it.
